The Netherlands

The number of reports of people who died of the consequences of the coronavirus has decreased again , the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) reports in the daily update on Monday. 101 new deaths were added, less than on Saturday (164) and Sunday (115).

The number of hospital admissions also appears to be leveling off . RIVM reported 260 new hospital admissions on Monday. While there are more than the 253 on Sunday, it is less than the days before (623 on Thursday, 502 on Friday, and 336 on Saturday).

Ernst Kuipers, chairman of the National Network for Acute Care (LNAZ), says that the new figures for corona patients in intensive care units "give cause for optimism". The number of corona patients in intensive care increased by 24 new patients to 1,409 on Monday.

Due to the corona crisis, the government will be milder in the coming period with people who are in debt or have to pay a fine. This was evident from a letter that Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB) sent to bailiffs offices.

The number of tests that can be taken daily is increasing rapidly, so that more patients and healthcare workers can be tested for COVID-19, the disease that causes the coronavirus. In the coming days and weeks, the number of daily tests will be scaled up from more than 4,000 to about 17,500.

The UWV received more than 35,000 applications on the first day that the temporary Emergency measure bridging for the preservation of employment (NOW) can be applied for. Employers with a loss of turnover of at least 20 percent can use the scheme, so that they can continue to pay wages.

People without symptoms are also tested in Spain . That's a first step towards progressively easing the lockdown in the country with the second highest official death toll worldwide. With the measure, the government wants to prepare for de-escalation.
